Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and system of selectively deploying an application for facilitating quality-of-experience (QoE) in terms of streaming multimedia content in a networking environment comprising a user-equipment (UE) and a networking node provided with a predictive analysis module. The method comprises: capturing parameters pertaining to UE from at least one of a version of the predictive analysis module with respect to the UE, a current processor occupancy within the UE, a power-level within the UE, network conditions pertaining to the access network etc. One or more of the captured parameters and the observed network conditions is analyzed. Based on analysis, inference is drawn for selecting between the predictive analysis model of the UE and of the networking node for thereby enabling a customized streaming of multimedia content at the UE.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing unlocking of an electronic device are provided. A method includes receiving an unlocking input from a user, authenticating the unlocking input, generating a first pre-wakeup command of initializing a progress action for the electronic device, generating a second pre-wakeup command of whether to complete the progress action or to retrogress the progress action based on the authenticating of the unlocking input, and determining whether to unlock the electronic device based on the second pre-wakeup command.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for packing a plurality of images. A number of cells of a canvas on which the plurality of images having different aspect ratios are to be packed is determined. The cells on the canvas are merged such that a number of the plurality of images is equal to the number of the cells. Each of the plurality of images are placed in a corresponding one of the plurality of cells of the canvas, according to respective aspect ratios of the plurality of images, when the number of the plurality of images is equal to the number of the cells.

Abstract: A method for content aware multimedia resizing includes selecting at least one Region Of Interest (ROI) in an input multimedia, resizing the at least one ROI, and generating an output multimedia with the resized at least one ROI. An electronic device for content aware multimedia resizing includes a processor configured to select ROI in an input multimedia, resize the at least one ROI, and generate an output multimedia with the resized at least one ROI. A computer-readable medium storing a program for content aware multimedia resizing, the program which when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations including selecting ROI in an input multimedia, resizing the at least one ROI, and generating an output multimedia with the resized at least one ROI.

Abstract: A method, device and apparatus for generating stereoscopic images using a non-stereoscopic camera. In one embodiment, a first image of a scene is captured using a non-stereoscopic camera of an electronic device. In order to create a stereoscopic image, two images are captured from two different viewpoints. In order to achieve this, a guided preview screen is displayed on a display unit of the electronic device to guide the user in capturing a second image. The guided preview screen indicates a direction in which the electronic device has to be moved to capture the second image. The second image of the scene is captured using the non-stereoscopic camera once the guided preview screen indicates that the second image can be captured. A stereoscopic image of the scene is produced and displayed on the display unit using the first image and the second image.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for composing images in an image processing device are provided. The method includes identifying an object in an overlap region of a plurality of images; generating a Gaussian curve for the object; determining an alpha mask for the overlap region using the Gaussian curve; and blending the plurality of images based on the alpha mask.
